"Brother Ping, are you busy? I'm here."
Before he entered, Zhao Ping heard Tian Zhen's voice.
Frightened, he quickly put the lid on the pot and let Xiaoxiao put out the fire.
Yes, Zhao Ping was making soap and no one was available, so he recruited Zhao Xiaoxiao as a child laborer to make fires.
Zhao Xiaoxiao was reluctant.
After being rescued by Tian Zhen, he ran away like flying.
He was afraid that if he was one step too late, he would be caught by Zhao Ping and set on fire again.
"What are you here for?"
Zhao Ping saw Tian Zhen and asked with a bad expression.
"I'm here to give a gift to Brother Ping."
Tian Zhen said.
"Where's the ceremony?"
Zhao Ping looked at Tian Zhen who was empty-handed, and his attitude became even worse.
Although Xia Zhixue developed Tian Zhen into an undercover agent.
But Zhao Ping is not optimistic about him.
After all, he is from the Tian family.
Are you really serious about bringing down the Tian family?
The Dawei Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, where family status, inheritance, and family were emphasized.
Even if Tian Zhen wants to bring down his father, will the elders of their Tian family agree?
Then there will be a lot of trouble again.
So Zhao Ping didn't want to get too involved with this guy.
"At this."
Tian Zhen took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ping.
"Brother Ping, please take a look."
"This is an order jointly placed by several wealthy businessmen in our county for Brother Ping. They want to order 20,000 pieces of cloth."
"This is the gift I want to give to Brother Ping."
"Brother Ping's textile factory has just opened, and it has received such a large order. It is gratifying."
Tian Zhen cupped his fists and congratulated.
However, what was waiting for him was not Zhao Ping's greeting, but a kick.
He was kicking Tian Zhen in the thigh.
Tian Zhen fell down without any precaution.
Guard Er Gouzi immediately stepped forward and was about to take action against Zhao Ping.
But there was someone faster than him.
It's Li Hu.
If I can't beat Ying Yi, can I still not beat you, you idiot?
With just one kick, Ergouzi was kicked away more than a foot and fell to the ground.
"Brother Ping, what are you doing?"
Tian Zhen asked with a dark face, "I came here to deliver your order out of kindness, why did you hit him?"
"Kindly?"
Zhao Ping sneered and said, "Look at what's written on this order. Twenty thousand pieces of cloth will be completed within a month."
"If we can't hand over enough cloth by then, we will pay a hundredfold compensation."
"The amount is ten thousand taels, a hundred times it is one million taels."
"Do you want to sell me, Zhao Ping, into slavery?"
"ah?"
Tian Zhen scratched his head, not understanding, "Twenty thousand pieces of cloth, your Xiping Village Textile Factory can't make it in a month?"
"Can your Tian family do it?"
"cannot."
"Then it's over."
Zhao Ping said coldly: "Your Tianjia family has a big business and a large textile workshop. It can't produce 20,000 pieces of cloth in a month. How can He De, my newly opened textile factory, be able to produce it in a month?" Twenty thousand bolts of cloth?”
"It turns out that Brother Ping is worried about this."
Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Ping, you can rest assured."
“I’ll drive out as much as I can, and I’ll produce the rest of the cloth.”
"your turn?"
Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why help me?"
"Brother Ping, I want you to be my brother-in-law."
Tian Zhen did not hide anything and spoke frankly.
"My father is already dim. He can't see that you are the best among men, but I can."
"Brother Ping can not only make acacia wine, but also write good articles. He can also conquer the plague. He is a rare talent."
"Such a person will turn into a dragon when encountering a storm."
"So I plan to follow Brother Ping."
"Once Brother Ping gains power, I can follow the chickens and dogs and soar."
Forehead!
That’s so straightforward.
This made Zhao Ping feel a little embarrassed.
I have to admire Tian Zhen's vision, he can even see this.
But Zhao Ping was still worried and continued to ask: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that your father will beat him to death?"
"Brother Ping, I've already told you that my father is old and his decision-making can no longer keep up with the development of the Tian family."
Tian Zhen said bitterly: "Only when I take charge of the Tian family can I lead the Tian family to prosper."
"My father may not understand it now, but when he sees that the Tian family is becoming more and more prosperous under my leadership, he will agree with my decision."
So cruel!
Even his own father is plotting against him.
But another thought shows Tian Zhen's vision and courage.
This kind of person, even if he doesn't meet himself, will definitely stand firm in such troubled times and achieve extraordinary things.
"Fine."
Zhao Ping took the order, "I've accepted the order. You can go back."
"ah?"
Tian Zhen was stunned, "You won't let me have a meal?"
"It's almost noon now."
Zhao Ping lowered his head and looked at the shadow. It was just a hair away from due north. It was indeed almost noon.
He nodded and went back to the house first, letting Li Hu greet Tian Zhen in the straw shed.
Tian Zhen didn't mind and asked Li Hu questions.
It's a pity that Li Hu didn't pay any attention to him.
Liu Mengru was training soldiers, and Wenhui hadn't returned from the brewery, so it fell to Zhao Ping to cook.
Fortunately, there are enough pots at home.
Stand up a few, stuffed white rice, stuffed white rice, stewed stew.
Zhao Ping was extremely busy.
However, before he could finish the meal, Li Hu ran over.
"Brother Ping, there is a woman outside looking for you."
"woman?"
Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
"do not know."
Li Hu said: "I think I've seen it before, but I forgot where I saw it."
"She also led five or six people, dressed in the uniforms of officers and soldiers, and looked menacing, unlike Shantu."
"Do you need me to drive her away?"
"Forget it, let's meet him. It won't take much trouble."
Zhao Ping shook his head.
The person has already arrived at the door of the house. It would be unreasonable to drive him away again.
Zhao Ping was led by Li Hu to the outside of the hospital.
There was indeed a group of people standing there.
The leader, Zhao Ping, actually knew him. He was the waiter whom he met in Yipinxiang when he went to the county town last time.
But at this time she was wearing a tight dress and a lot of expensive jewelry.
It looks like jewels.
Behind her were six officers and soldiers in military uniforms.
"Mr. Zhao, we meet again."
Seeing Zhao Ping, Mu Qiaoqiao smiled and said hello.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our Xiping Village?"
Zhao Ping asked indifferently.
Mu Qiaoqiao responded with a smile, "The little girl's name is Mu Qiaoqiao. She is from Qingzhou Prefecture and currently lives as the shopkeeper of Yipinxiang."
"I'm looking for Mr. Zhao because I want to learn cooking skills from Mr. Zhao. I also hope that Mr. Zhao will give you some advice."
"Learn to cook from me?"
Zhao Ping felt incredible.
The way the other party is dressed, she looks like a young lady.
Isn’t this kind of person just opening his mouth when he has clothes to put on his hands and food to eat?
You actually want to take the initiative to cook?
"good."
Mu Qiaoqiao said: "The last time I heard about Mr.'s understanding of making chicken, I was shocked."
"The little girl specially searched for some medicinal herbs that can stimulate the aroma of chicken. The chicken she made was very delicious. She asked Mr. Zhao for advice."
This is to kick the gym.
Wait, medicinal materials?
What herbs can stimulate the flavor of chicken?
Could it be that she researched the Thirteen Incenses?
Zhao Ping asked curiously: "Miss Mu, what medicinal materials did you find?"
It seems that light soy sauce and cooking wine are indeed medicinal materials.
Mu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Fanjiao."
"A kind of Chinese medicinal material passed from Tubo country."
"In the past, we people in the Wei Dynasty only regarded peppers as flowers that could be viewed. Since my husband mentioned that peppers can be used for cooking, I have studied them carefully."
"It actually works."
"And the meals produced are much more delicious than ordinary cooking methods..."
"What is hot pepper?"
Zhao Ping interrupted the other party and said excitedly: "Did you bring any?"
Being unfamiliar with history, he knew that people in ancient times did not know many things due to lack of knowledge.
In his previous life, he had seen a short story, saying that a foreign envoy came to pay tribute to the ancient dynasty and took sweet potatoes as red ginseng, which was of immeasurable value.
As a result, it took many years for sweet potatoes to be used as food.
Zhao Ping didn't know whether it was true or not, but he knew that due to inconvenient transportation and continuous wars, some countries in ancient times had very few exchanges.
Many treasures that benefit the people are often hidden and difficult to find.
This is the first time Zhao Ping has heard of this sweet pepper. It can increase the taste of food, so it might be a good thing.
"have."
Mu Qiaoqiao said: "But not much."
"Only three."
As he spoke, Mu Qiaoqiao took out three slender red peppers.
"Chili, this is chili."
Zhao Ping stepped forward and grabbed Mu Qiaoqiao's catkins, unable to control his surprise.
"You, you scratched me and hurt me."
Mu Qiaoqiao broke free.
But the officers and soldiers behind her took action directly, drew out the long swords from their waists, and slashed at her.
